Proud to be involved in our local New Jersey community

For over 35 years, Attorney Todd J. Leonard has been deeply involved in working to foster the spirit of giving, sharing and helping others in need.

Todd had been the head coach for the Morris County Special Olympics basketball program for over 20 years and was honored as Volunteer of the Year by the ARC of Morris County, and the ARC of New Jersey in 2005. He is also proud to be a Platinum Sponsor and Member of The 200 Club of Morris County, which supports and honors police officers, first aid squad members, firefighters, the New Jersey State Police, and other first responders and their families.

Todd also launched the The Leonard Foundation, whose mission is to support the children, and their families, who are battling pediatric cancer, and those in need of food and assistance, women’s shelters, and other important social services. The Foundation also proudly supports those fighting pancreatic cancer.

To further foster the spirit of sharing and giving back in Morris County and other communities, Leonard has launched a weekly podcast, "The Todd Leonard Show,” that features members of the community who volunteer their time and talents to give back.

Todd feels it’s crucial to give back to the community and help others in need. We hope that you tune in to listen to members of the community who share their uplifting and inspirational stories.
